50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Summit

“I was hesitant to go here due to the mixed nature of the reviews.Well it turned out to be good. I went for a weekday lunch. I had the carnitas tacos.They were very good and had a definite bbq flavor to them. I also had two margaritas which were good and not that strong ( which was for the best). Followed up with churros which I enjoyed.Service was quick. Two criticisms: the chairs are uncomfortable and seem like pool chairs. An upgrade is called for. Two: They charge 3% for using a credit card. I had the cash and paid cash but I don't like that. I had intended to go to Fiorinos but saw the 3% add on when I started to walk in and walked out. Too expensive for cash. Look raise your prices 3% if the credit card fees are hitting you too hard.“

“Really enjoyed the atmosphere in this restaurant the food is good and the hospitality is very inviting.

“This is a small business that makes you feel at home even from different ethnicity. We are a fmaily of 7 and accomodated us very well. My kids are extremely picky and 3 of them chose the chicken tacos and loved them! One had the quesadilla and he is the most picky he ate some and took the rest for the next day. I am very picky with Mexican authentic food but this surpass all the restaurants I have been to in PA (I live in PA)! Al Azar plate was awesome and my baby is not one to eat much and she was eating the rice. My husband had the Caldo beef. To my surprise that was the most tasty soup I have tasted and the 1st Mexican soup I have tasted! The horchata was out of this world good! Will definitely go back again! I told the server that my son had a shellfish allergy and respected that! I bet the rest of the dishes are just as good!Parking: It’s a small location with parking. But that is enough for us!Kid-friendliness: My kids were excited! The decorations made them so happy! The food was great! Respected my child’s allergies!“

“Central Taqueria is an absolute gem! From the moment I stepped in, I knew I was in for a treat. The homemade tortillas are a game-changer – absolutely perfect in every way.I had the pleasure of trying their cochinita, pollo, al pastor, and birria tacos, and each one was bursting with flavor. And let's talk about their deals, especially Taco Tuesday – it's a steal! I even got to enjoy an agua fresca alongside my four delicious tacos.Oh, and don't get me started on their churros – just the right amount of sweetness, making them literally perfect.What really sets Central Taqueria apart, though, is the warmth and friendliness of the owner and staff. They made me feel right at home from the moment I walked in.I'm already planning my return visit tomorrow – where I will be trying their torta! Thank you, Central Taqueria, for an unforgettable taco experience. Best i have had in east coast (coming from a Californian!)“

“These are by far the best and most authentic Mexican tacos I’ve had in the state of New Jersey. For someone who has regularly gone to some of the “best rated” Taco places in the state, This locations Al pastor tacos with cheese are some of the best tacos I’ve ever eaten. A true hidden gem in Roselle Park.“

“We went last week, based on these reviews, as I have been wanting Mexican food but a little different from the usual. This was it! Quite good, charming hostess/owner. Really loved the "sopes" which was an oblong open-faced tortilla dish with fillings.Parking: Was able to park on street right in front.“

“Macho Nacho continues to be the best tacos around! Used to eat at the old location, and love the new location more. I traveled a lot for work and I only get one thing here which stacks up amazingly to the best tacos - carne asada on a crispy taco shell. Comes with guac (a must have) and pico, and add the amazing red and green sauces and squeeze of lime - perfection! Top off with a Mexican Coke and you have an amazing and affordable meal - the spice and flavor dances on the tongue and continues to do so after you leave!“

“Run don't walk to this new Maplewood gem! We had dinner here Sunday night & everything was excellent! Love the decor, ambiance, staff & food. We had the guacamole, octopus, the tacos al pastor, crispy fish tacos, chicken mole poblano enchiladas, shrimp fajitas & tres leches cake. The Jamaica/hibiscus aguafresca was delish as is or with tequila as a cocktail. We'll definitely be back & often“

“I read the reviews online and went there based on their ratings. I was expecting a nice little sit down restaurant but this is actually more of a takeout place. They do have a few tables so we did eat in there. The food was fresh. I wasn't thrilled with the flavors. I got fish tacos and really the only thing I could taste was the cabbage. The guacamole and chips were very good and fresh. I probably won't go back. The people there are extraordinarily nice“

“Stopped by this local dot because I was HUNGRY! Lol. Also needed to get something before heading to my next appointment. I walked in and although the place was empty, the employee at the front was patient, helpful and friendly. I liked the decor and cleanliness of the establishment. You could tell they worked hard to keep this casual spot warm and inviting. Down to the flower vases on each table. I ordered the pupusa and chicken tacos. The food was flavorful and ingredients fresh. Even the radishes and cucumbers as garnish was fresh. I'll be back again. I love finding local spots with great food! Let me know if you have any to recommend.“

Restaurant is extremely clean and staff is really friendly. You have to give them a try!“

“My friend and I got together for some good Mexican food. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted by the host/server and sat. It was a dimly lit restaurant. I started with the red sangria, and that was tasty. I was a little disappointed because they had no red wine for my next drink, so stuck with the sangria. For my appetizer, I got the camarones scampi, but it was a garlic shrimp, and it was tasty. My friend had the fiesta platter and I tried it and it was good. We then had the shrimp tacos, which were delicious! For my meal, I got the red snapper, and my friend had the garlic shrimp dish. I really enjoyed the red snapper, and my friend enjoyed the shrimp. We then had the dulce de leche cheesecake, which was good. We really had a good experience!“

“Fantastic! Fajita was juicy and tasty. Fish tacos perfect amount of sauce and breaded fish. Mexican Street corn was excellent. And of course, don’t fill up on the warm chips. Excellent service. Leave room for the churros. And definitely call first to confirm if they are open.“

“The place was very relaxing before 6pm… the service was very pleasant, well-prepared drinks… the only detail that could be changed and made sure is that the water does not have a good taste, it is not at all natural or pleasant, the way it feels, the rest everything was good ? ??“

“I had a meeting earlier in the day and didn't have lunch, so I was looking for something good to eat when I saw Fandango Mexican Grill. I was amazed at the beautiful decor of Mexican art. I was promptly greeted by a very friendly welcoming waitress. Everything on the menu looked great and I had a hard time selecting something, so I asked my waitress to recommend something. She recommended the Carne Asada Burrito. I ordered that and was not disappointed. The burrito was enormous, full of well seasoned steak, cheese and rice. It was so good. I would definitely Fandango Mexican Grill. ?“

“I've tried hundreds of Mexican spots all over the country. Im from NJ... been to mexico 5 times. This is literally my favorite spot that I have tried in the states. The owner cares so much and makes everything "home made". Try it and see for yourself.“

“Wifey and I have been talking about going to Fat Fish Taco for eight years - since they opened - but we FINALLY made it last night. And we. Both agreed we were idiots for waiting so long. This place reminded both of us of being in a Jersey shore restaurant - pleasing and simple decor, friendly people, and good food. They were mostly filled when we got there, but we were seated immediately and started looking over the menu. We opened our wine (yep, it's BYOB) and they brought us some glasses. It was pretty tough deciding what to have. First we considered an appetizer and a couple tacos each, but then the table next to us got their nachos and we decided on those and one taco each. We ordered the nachos with chicken, Wifey got the Baja taco and I had the Blackened Sole taco. Man...it was all good. Kudos to the owner, Steve, and the wait staff. The tacos were delicious and everything tasted so fresh. The nachos were great too, though I would have liked more chicken on them. The chips tasted fresh and everything on top was just amazing. We finished off the evening with a slice of Key Lime pie with two spoons. It's not a stretch to say this is the best Key Lime pie I've ever eaten...anywhere. Could not have asked for a better meal...as Wifey said, it was an "Unexpected Delight. Took us 8 years to finally come here...won't be 8 years til our next visit, that's for sure. Worth every penny.“

“Wow. Finally. GOOD FOOD that can be taken to go. I’m beyond relieved I don’t have to endlessly search for other food options that aren’t fried or fast food. Even chick fil a is falling off these days.If you’re tired of the same old generic garbage fast food, then please take a shot on this Mexican food.I ordered the chicken fajita to go with a pineapple Mexican soda they had there. It was alllll delicious ?came with a house salad as well, and the staff were very kind and respectful.This spot is right next to a panera, wingstop, even a movie theatre, right off of 22.“

“Being from Texas, we are always looking for a place that reminds us of home, and this was it! Torta with bistek was very good, the bread was nice and toasted. Husband got taquiles with pastor, and the grilled pineapples were such a sweet surprise! The guacamole and chips were tasty and the horchata was delicious! Service was attentive and food was delivered very quickly. We will definitely go back to get our torta and taco cravings filled!“

“Bomb ass food. Had an appt nearby and decided to check in. Ordered shrimp tacos and grilled chicken with rice/peppers. Simple dishes but they perfected it. Lorena was sweet and attentive.

“Strolling through town a wanted a little snack to go with my healthy smoothie from earlier. I walked in and was warmly greeted by a cheerful guy. After checking out the menu, I asked him what his favorites were and he made all the tacos sound so delicious. I was kinda of leaning towards a bowl, but after hearing all the taco goodness I grabbed a Cajun shrimp taco to hold me over till later.Turns out the guy I was chatting with was the owner, Todd. Really great to interact with him, super passionate about this place.Service was fast, taco was $6ish, and it was really tasty. I should've grabbed a deal for three, but I'll be back to eat more another day. You should too!“

The cubano sandwich with steak, ham, chorizo, chicken, beans LTO on a roll was fantastic and filling served with skinny seasoned fries. Fajitas mixta was seasoned well and very tasty. Not a hint of pretension surrounds this place. A place to eat good food at a very fair price“

“I love this place. I have gone there a few times, and it didn't take me much time to fall in love with everything on their menu. The food comes very fast, and it is amazing how they make such good food in such a short time. The service is great and the employees are very welcoming. The ambiance is pretty decent, and I really like how they made a brick wall inside. Overall, this is one of my favorite restaurants. 10,000,000 stars. (By my 11-year-old son)“

“We order Tito’s very often. It’s not always consistent but tonight it was really good. Everything was fresh, well cooked and fast. I will say anytime it’s not good and so am asked for a review, I let them know and they always make good on it.“

“Came here for a late lunch on a Sunday. The experience was so much better than I had expected. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. First, the drinks. I had two rocks margaritas. They were very, very good. And a good size too. Very tasty. I've had some great margaritas, and some terrible ones. These were very much on the good/great side. So that was refreshing. We ordered the shrimp and scampi/garlic appetizer. OMG, we wanted to drink that sauce it was so good. Fresh cut garlic, just so good. Wife ordered the steak fajitas and I ordered the combo (chicken/steak/shrimp) fajitas. I think fajitas are a great choice to order here. They are presented very nicely, you get a lot, and they were absolutely delicious. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, just wonderful. The rice and beans were also service in a little tortilla bowl, which I proceeded to eat also. Overall it was just awesome. I can't wait to come back!“

“Our server davie was awesome- my son has a few allergies (dairy, egg, and nut) and made sure all of the food we ordered was safe for him to eat. We really appreciated it, especially that he checked up on us asking if he was safe once the food came out. Little things like that I’ve really come to appreciate at restaurants and make our experience so much better. Definitely adding Nom to the list of restaurants to visit again. Thanks!Dietary restrictions: My son has a dairy egg and peanut allergy“
